Exhibit Hall
In addition to the changes that have been noted in previous communications regarding the exhibit hall, both NCO and FMI will present overviews of their ministries and their various leaders in the exhibit hall. The national church office presentation, for example, will include information regarding women’s and men’s ministries, Christian education, chaplains, youth ministry and children’s ministry. All of the NCO ministry groups will have exhibits in one central area, and people will be available to answer questions and provide additional information regarding each ministry. Likewise, Foursquare Missions will have a central location in which to profile their ministries and personnel. Additionally, missionaries will be available so that you can get acquainted with them and understand, first hand, their passion for reaching the nations of the world in which they labor. Convention attendees are encouraged to visit the NCO and FMI exhibit sectors and gain a better understanding of how these two departments serve The Foursquare Church, the Kingdom of God and the world.
